BEIJING, Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. (OTC: STVVY) ("China Digital TV" or the "Company"), a leading provider of cloud platforms embedded with gaming and other applications to PRC digital television and telecommunication network operators, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Mr. Jianhua Zhu, China Digital TV's chief executive officer, commented, "We are pleased to achieve 21.5% year-over-year net revenue growth in the third quarter. The growth momentum was driven by our accelerated geographic expansion. During the third quarter, we made notable progress in new product development. Collaborating with Dalian Tiantu operator, we launched our Cloud Virtual Reality platform in September 2017. The new platform enables Dalian Tiantu to utilize our industry-leading cloud computing capacity to stream its VR-related content and services to user televisions at a high and stable speed. This is part of our ongoing effort to diversify and innovate our content offerings and solidify our position as China's leading provider of cloud platforms."
Mr. Zhenwen Liang, China Digital TV's chief financial officer, stated, "On October 18, 2017, the Company received notification from the New York Stock Exchange stating that the Committee for Review of the Regulatory Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE has affirmed to suspend trading of the American Depositary Shares of China Digital TV and to commence delisting proceedings. As a result of the final delisting decision, our shares will continue to be quoted on the OTC market under the ticker symbol "STVVY". We will continue to execute our growth strategies and stay committed to creating lasting value to our shareholders."
Third Quarter 2017 Results[1]
China Digital TV's net revenues increased by 21.5% to US$1.2 million from US$1.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to the increased revenues from system integration during the quarter.
Cost of revenues increased by 59.5% to US$0.4 million from US$0.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in cost of revenues was consistent with the increased net revenues in the third quarter of 2017.
Gross profit increased by 10.6% to US$0.85 million from US$0.77 million in the prior year period. Gross margin, which is equal to gross profit divided by net revenues, was 70.7% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared with 77.7% in the prior year period.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP net income attributable to China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. shareholders excludes share-based compensation expenses, and amortization of intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP net income provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance by excluding certain non-cash expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash flow perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to this additional information in assessing the Company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods.
However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
